Death's Xmas didn't get finished. Lethargy and me, it's a constant battle, and procastrination won. Oh well. Plenty of time to finish it later. I'm having tons more ideas, and frankly, I'm being strangled in what to write/finish first. I always eem to be very enthousiastic when starting something, but losing the energy for it later on. Neither caffeine or sugar help anymore So I'm posting this journal as an overview for myself, because I tend to lose papers on which I write down to-do lists. Perhaps I should try forcing myself into writing at least 1 scene for any story, per day. Somehow, something will get finished that way.

1) Project SotR.
Also know as Secrets of the Rainbow. Any resemblance with Lotr abreviations is purely coincidental. Either how, this is going to be a series of seven short stories. One for each color of the rainbow. Mostly exciting when I finish it, because I plan to bundle them up in a booklet. Some of you may find one in your mailbox whenever that happens. Give or take a few months, I need ideas for about 4 colors still XD Blue is done (it's in my gallery), and Red is in progress. I also will need to translate them to Dutch for my local supporters/fans/friends who just say it's good stuff cause they don't wanna insult me/family who do the same. Also, check it's a brilliant matching picture for the series.

2) Forgive me father, I have sinned.
A longer short story (huh? what?) taking place in a prison. The first scene is posted in my scraps. [link] and there's a description of one of the main characters. [link] I have some other lose scenes as well, but none posted yet.


3) House of Roses
A short story still in the back of my mind. It's about a house with a lot of roses around it. Yes, thank you, Captain Obvious. We'll see when I get there.

4) Death's Christmas
The ultimate writing fun. Christmas being peaceful in general, usually offers some slack to Death. But not this year. He'll have a busy and special Christmas.

5) Untitled yet
Check this: [link] I like the idea, have a small plot written down, some lose sentences, but nothing more than that. I did discuss my idea with and she was very supportive about it, so I will do it eventually.

6) The Game
[link] first random scene, but I'll change the title someday. I found a book named "The game" about a guy turning himself from loser to Don Juan. Kinda similar theme, but of course I found it after I had started already.

As you see, a lot to do. I blame lethargic feelings.

Also, I found a rather nice quote at the end of a song by Rotersand. "Merging Oceans [extended]" Imagine a dry voice telling you those, like a government broadcast back in the 60's.

"It's a fact, stupid people have stupid children. If you're stupid, please, don't have sex. If you insist on having sex, then please, have sex with animals. Preferably, animals smarter than you are. That way, if by some biological fluke, you and the animal actually have offspring, odd are the offspring will be less stupid than you are. One more thing: don't assume the animal is protected. If the animal has a condom, or the females some sort of interuterine device, insist they wear it. Please, help stand out this mindless mindlessness. Keep your stupidity to yourself.
This message brought to you by the council of concerned citizens who are smarter than you are."

I lol'd. Several times.
